HOME MADE RASAM POWDER

HOME MADE RASAM POWDER

Flavorful Rasam Powder In Hands within minutes

Honestly Im not a Rasam Fan! My mom makes garlic rasam and that was the only rasam existed to me till I made Rasam myself. I dont like much of sourness and my tastebuds refuse to accept it happily. I can tolarate sourness only when proportionately balanced. I still remember when I saw rasam powder in market I shrugged my shoulder thinking what does a rasam powder have to do with the taste? Well Completely not interested!! Until I saw Rasam Recipe online and wanted to try my hands on it. The recipe called for Rasam Powder, And I gained knowledge Rasam powder can be made at home as well.So my attempt to make rasam powder was successful!!Here goes the recipe:IngredientsCoriander seeds - 2tablespoonToor daal - 2 tablespoonBlack pepper - 1 tablespoonRed chilli whole - 4-5Fenugreek seeds/ methi dana - 1/2tspCumin seeds 1 and 1/2tspMethod:- Dry roast all ingredients in a pan over low medium heat till evenly golden brown, and nice aroma start emitting- Allow this mixture to cool- Grind it in a mixer to make fine powder as possible- Allow it to rest for a while- Store in a air tight container. Use as and when needed.

Notes:- If u intend to make more double the ingredients measurement.- Its always gud to make little and use it fresh for extra flavor- If ur regular rasam person then u can make it in large batch and store it- The one I made last is almost 3 months now and still the flavors are in tact so be assured that making it in large batches wont ruin the taste if kept for longer period of time :)- Even if the powder is ground coarsely never mind, it wont be a problem when it gets cookedImpression:Awesomely flavorful and a keeper recipe for any time go!!Its fragrance and flavor is never dying, It rightly serves the purpose its made for!!!

Unlike you, we are a big big fan of rasam. We can have rasam everyday yet we are never bored with it. I also simply love the sour note in rasam. This is an excellent recipe for me, making the podi and using it as and when needed.
